Dark and Mystical
Night folds its shroud of darkness around me
As I stand alone on the edge of the cold still water
The distant moon lights a path toward the heavens, I see
Clearly, I hear your whispering voice, my daughter
My world lies shattered at my feet, this night
Will it ever end, my pain shatters into a thousand single shards
Shredding my heart, clouds gather taking all light
Your departing shadow embraces me as your heart discards
The love offered, blemished, tattered, torn
Then the silent dark clouds part, a single star ignites new hope
And in this lonely place I see a reflection reborn
Confidence regained, trust renewed, and I know I will cope…
